All cadets are issued with a uniform similar to that worn by the RAF, with the standard uniform consisting of a dark blue shirt and brassard, grey trousers (male cadets) or skirt/slacks (female cadets), blue-grey jumper (when required) and a dark blue beret. Black shoes are provided by the cadet.
Cadets are also issued with a light blue shirt and tie for formal occasions, and are usually either issued with or privately acquire a DPM (camouflage) uniform. Cadets may wear other specialist uniforms, such as flight suits, when required.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
